Problems with 2009 Chevrolet Malibu POWER TRAIN

Stopped behind another vehicle, when i started moving again there was a severe shudder or vibration. then my car did not want to start moving again. once it did start moving it would not shift out of first gear.

While vehicle is traveling along at interstate traffic speeds(60-65 mph) the car will go into an engine reduced power mode, and emergency traction displays on the dash. the vehicle will not increase in speed,(20 mph max) have to hurriedly find an exit to the right to avoid a crash. at the end of recall 14v252, it states service esc and/or traction control tell-tales illuminate with this condition. the dealer has agreed to repair the brake light malfunction recall # 13036 but will not repair the engine stalling issues, or the problem previously stated.

On november 6, 2019 was driving my kids to school on a regular street, when suddenly without warning my power steering goes completely out. ran up on a curb almost hitting a pole because i was unable to turn wheel. i took vehicle to get power steering fluid and was told it was electrical. took to another place to have tested and a recall came up for vehicle. took to dealership and was told it was not a recall but it is listed as one. refuse to help fix the problem due to over mileage and me not being the original owner. refusal for rental or even a loaner.

Esc car, car completely shuts down and esc tracking light comes on and it says no power/low power esc - this can cause an accident. the car completely shuts down!

I have had problems with this vehicle from day one. i filed a report previously and i am filing another one in reference to my power transmission. i have a 2009 chevy malibu, 4 speed, automatic. i was driving and the vehicle downshifted itself without my doing anything, almost causing an accident because it would not shift into high gear. something popped in the vehicle and the gear shifted for a little bit and worked and then it happened again. i think the shifting cable may have fractured or separated. this was very nerve wracking, because it was in the late evening hours and traffic was extremely heavy. now it is sitting in the driveway.

Issue started with gear shift not going into park and then power steering started having issues and quit working while driving with wheel shaking back and forth. next transmission began slipping and now barely shifts. wheel jerks so hard when i turn now that it kicks my hand off wheel. coughlin automotive in london, ohio told us that recall had been fixed but refuses to give us proof. power steering has gone out in the middle of turning.

Tl* the contact owns a 2009 chevrolet malibu. the contact stated that the vehicle failed to shift into park. there were no warning indicators illuminated. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who stated that the shift cable needed to be repaired. the local dealer was not contacted. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was notified and did not assist. the failure mileage was 34,000.

I have been having trouble with my car almost from the time of purchase. my vehicle is having some transmission problems. it is having problems picking up speed and jerks when gears are shifted. i have also notice that when the button is pushed to roll down the window, the light flickers a bit. my car has numerous recalls on it but everytime i take it to the shop, they tell me they are closed out. that is a safety issue, how can they legally close out a recall of something that is unsafe? he said they put a certain number out of how many vehicles have gotten the recall taken care of. the others are considered lost or stolen. i bought this car used and i did not have it in the time the recalls were issued. my vehicle has never been lost or stolen. i have taken it to bob bell numerous times, only to be told the recalls are closed. i had to get my insurance to pay for one of the recall issues because my steering while locked up while driving and i was unable to ...

My son drove this 09 malibu to work and when he got off of work the car would not go into reverse. i have done some research on this issue and it seems like this is a defect inside the transmoissions on these vehicles and the wave-plte brakes requiring a rebuild. i cannot believe these vehicles have not been recalled to fix this defect!!!!!

Car won't go in reverse and won't change to 3rd gear. rpm wind high going at a slow speed of 30mph and won't switch to higher gear. chevy paid for transmissions with this same issue for 2008-2009 malibus with 6t70 or 6t75 but said mine wasn't part of #14404b: special coverage adjustment since my transmission is 6t40 or 6t45 even though i am having the same exact issue. i had to pull over and have cars pass me as i couldn't keep up with traffic speeds. before that i couldn't get out of my parking space. pushed my car backwards just so i was able to move forward. called gm and made case# 8-4709450172

Tl* the contact owns a 2009 chevrolet malibu. the contact called on behalf of the driver. while driving approximately 40 mph, the vehicle failed to accelerate. in addition, the contact stated that the vehicle failed to reverse and the check engine warning indicator illuminated. the contact coasted the vehicle to the side of the road. the vehicle was restarted and was able to drive, but the failure recurred. the vehicle was taken to bob johnson chevrolet (1271 w ridge rd, rochester, ny 14615, (866) 915-9664) where it was diagnosed that the transmission clutch wave plate needed to be replaced. the vehicle was repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failure and opened case number: 8-4620605328. the contact was referred to nhtsa. the approximate failure mileage was 61,450.

My 2009 chevrolet malibu experienced a wave plate issue that gm is aware about but won't cover. the problem was issued special coverage #14404 for same malibu 2008-2009 but they say my vehicle is not covered but won't give specifics only saying i should have received a letter and only which i need to produce to have my problem fixed. they don't keep an accurate record of people's addresses so how am i supposed to know. doesn't make sense that they won't fix it when it clearly shows it's a known problem for my vehicle type and rating.

I have not had my 2009 malibu for almost a year now. i took it to the dealership to get looked at and they want to charge me 140 dollars for looking at it, just to tell me the transmission is messed up. i knew this. it started when i was driving to work and a light came on and it was really hard to turn the steering wheel. i had to slow way down because i could barely turn the wheel. this was a huge safety issue. i was terrified for my life with my three year old son in the back seat. i pulled off to the side and shut the car off, then started it up again. the steering wheel was fine. then again i got into my car the next day and it did it again! but only this time, it didn't stop. no matter what. then my car stopped shifting. i capped they chevy dealership and they set me up an appointment to bring my car in. i explained it was unsafe to drive it so they scheduled a tow for me. that following week, (carless) i was waiting for the tow to show up ...
